5.0 out of 5 starsAn impressive light and much reduced electricity costs. Great LED replacements for GU10 halogen bulbs.
Well I'm writing this review a couple of months after I replaced my 7x50w hungry halogens in my hall/porch with these LED replacements and I've not had a single bulb failure. (I will of course update this review if I subsequently have any)

I am also very impressed with the light. The "warm white" light is certainly a lot less harsh than their halogen...

1.0 out of 5 starsShort life bulbs - 50% failure after 3 months
Bought 10 of these LED lights in May 2014 thinking they had a long life guarantee and therefore warrant the slightly more expensive price tag. After only 3 months 5 have failed. 1 actually went after 1 week. They have been my worst buy on Amazon. Recommend don't buy if you are looking for value for money.

Nice bright light, not as warm as previous 50W halogens, but perfectly suited to our kitchen. Reliability has proven somewhat poor, 4 of the bulbs developed a flicker within 3 months, and 2 completely failed. Contacted Amazon who promptly supplied replacement bulbs and requested the return of the faulty ones. Hopefully the replacements are more reliable - the design of the replacement bulbs appeared slightly different to the previous ones.

One point to note is that these LED bulbs seemed a little bit longer than the previous 50W halogens, and were a little harder to squeeze into the light fitting, however they did fit.

Update: 3 of the 10 replacement bulbs failed within 3 months of installing them. Returned to Amazon for a full refund. Would not recommend these bulbs. Credit to Amazon, they offered a refund no quibble.

Dreadful product. I bought a pack of 10. 1 failed to work out of the box. A second went down within 3 days. I returned the full 10 for a replacement pack, Within a week one had gone off, a second went off a week later, a third then a forth in just 2 months. All were in different fittings. So out of 20 bulbs in just two months 6 have failed. this is not good as I have bought other LEDs and they are still going strong after 1 year. These are very cheap and as always when you buy the cheapest you get rubbish.Average Life 30000 hours. Not a chance

Bought this pack in April of this year. Out of the 10 only 4 working now. 6 bulbs failed one after the other in the last 6 months.3 replacements were sent initially which are still working. 7 replacement were sent later on and funnily enough out of the 7 only 1 bulb worked out of the box so 6 of the replacements weren't working out of the box! Won't recommend these to anyone.

Just 3.5 months into the yuse of these bulbs and 15% stopped working. Yes they are brighter, cheaper to run but, in the long run, they will be more expensive to run than normal halogen bulbs - think twice before buying

I bought a package of 10 of these. The light was good, nice and bright. Problem was that 4 of them stopped working within a week. I returned the 10 and they sent a replacement. 2 months later six of the replacements have stopped working. I have just returned the the package and asked for my money back. Don't bother buying, save yourself the bother

Lamp as described in the description only that three bulbs failed in the first few weeks, unfortunately they are out of the 30 day return period!I will not be looking to purchasing 'Long Life Lamp Company' products again as they seem an expensive item for such a short working life.

I am also very impressed with the light. The "warm white" light is certainly a lot less harsh than their halogen predecessors. Yet these 4w LED bulbs still give off an incredible amount of light. Brilliant for my hallway and porch

I also liked the fact that these were a true direct replacement for the GU10. By that I mean they were exactly the same size, fitting into the holders perfectly without protruding.

But the main reason for installing these was for the reduction in energy consumption.

Putting that into perspective at 15p per kwh a single 50w halogen bulb on for just 1 hour each day will set you back about £2.74 per annum in electricity costs.

A 4 watt LED on for the same amount of time will cost just £0.22 per annum.

For me it was a bit of a no brainer getting rid of the inefficient halogens.

I'm impressed with the light and delighted with their inefficiency. If they last anyway near their anticipated lifespan of 30,000 they will save a small fortune on my electric bill.

The light itself when working is quite acceptable. It's a multi LED style light, rather than 1 bright cell.However, bought in July- about 5 of them are being used, in that time, 2 have died.They are cheap, so can't say it's a big surprise, however I suggest investing a little bit more for some better, longer lasting bulbs.Yes, they guarantee them for 2 years, but it's a hassle and not a reason to buy them.

I haven't found any LED lamps that are streets ahead at all working for a long period yet, however, I have found better ones than these.
